Diana Vickers - Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree
Diana Vickers’ debut album 'Song From The Tainted Cherry Tree' is the result of over a year’s worth of work for Diana with an amazing array of co-writers and producers.
On its release in the UK, this album from an alumni of the 2008 X-Factor debuted at number one on the album charts.
The list of collaborators is as impressive as it is surprising, with Ellie Goulding, Lightspeed Champion, Nerina Pallot, Starsmith, Guy Sigsworth and Cathy Dennis all helping to give the record its mature shape.
But it’s Diana herself who keeps it box-fresh youthful.
Her work with Hackney digi-folk troubadour Lightspeed Champion on “Me and You” has produced probably the straightest pop song on the record, ironically with her most unusual collaboration.
Ellie Goulding’s co-write 'Remake Me and You' meanwhile, is the strangest cut on the record – a jittery stop-start electro boogie that lodges itself straight in the head.
The lead single is Cathy Dennis and Eg White’s 'Once', which from the original demo has been rearranged to Diana’s bespoke measurements and builds to a gob-stopping crescendo in the first minute.
It also debuted in the top spot on the UK Singles chart on its release in that territory.
Another track that’s racking up the attention for Diana is 'The Boy Who Murdered Love' – the second single from 'Song From The Tainted Cherry Tree'.

In its review of 'Song From The Tainted Cherry Tree' the BBC wrote of Diana, "She’s utterly unlike any other artist to have received a Simon Cowell-shaped seal of approval.”
